New research indicates that advanced AI models are becoming increasingly proficient at planning cyberattacks against critical infrastructure like power grids and water systems. A study by cybersecurity firm Frenos tested 10 AI models, finding that three of the most capable models could successfully blueprint attacks in approximately 90% of attempts. The findings highlight a growing concern that readily available AI tools could soon empower malicious actors to more easily execute sophisticated attacks on essential services, posing significant risks to public safety and operational continuity.
